	6.1.1.1	any Event of Default or any condition, event or act which, with the giving of notice, the expiry of any applicable grace period, the making of any determination or any

	6.2	Updating of Programme Memorandum 

  

	6.2.1	The Issuer shall, at the cost of the Issuer, update or amend the Programme Memorandum (following consultation with the Arranger which Arranger will consult with the
Dealers) as required by applicable laws and/or regulation, by the publication of a new Programme Memorandum or a supplement thereto, in a form approved by the Arranger and the Dealers in their reasonable discretion where there has been -


  

	6.2.1.1	an adverse change in the condition of the capital stock, long term debt, business properties, management or operations of the Issuer which is material in the context of
the Programme or the issue of any Notes and which is not then reflected in the Programme Memorandum; or 

  

	6.2.1.2	if an event occurs and as a result thereof the Programme Memorandum - 

  

	6.2.1.2.1	includes a statement of fact which is not true and accurate in all material respects; 

  

	6.2.1.2.2	omits any fact, the omission of which would make misleading in any material respect any statement therein contained; or 

  

 

 
  


 Page 27 









	6.2.1.2.3	is required, in the sole and absolute discretion of the Issuer, to be amended or supplemented for any other reason, 

 provided that no new Programme Memorandum or supplement to the Programme Memorandum, as the case may be, is required in respect of the

on behalf and at the expense of the Issuer for the Programme to be registered on the bond market of the JSE. Upon agreement to issue Notes being reached under clause 3, where such Notes are to be listed, the Issuer will use its reasonable endeavours
to obtain and, whilst any such Notes are Outstanding, maintain such listing. If it is unable to do so, having used its reasonable endeavours, or if the maintenance of such listing becomes unduly onerous, the Issuer will instead use its reasonable
endeavours to promptly obtain and maintain approval for the Programme and a listing of the Notes on such other Financial Exchange as the Issuer may decide, and the Issuer shall notify the Arranger and Dealers promptly of such proposed alternative
listing. 

  

	6.3.3	The Issuer shall comply, in all material respects, with the rules of the Relevant Financial Exchange and shall otherwise comply with any undertakings given by it from
time to time to the Relevant Financial Exchange in connection with any Notes listed on such Financial Exchange or the listing thereof and, without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing, shall furnish or procure to be furnished to the Relevant
Financial Exchange all such information as such Financial Exchange may require in connection with the listing on such Financial Exchange of any Notes and pay all fees and costs in connection therewith.

Dealers in writing of any termination of, or amendment to, the Agency Agreement and of any change in the Transfer Agent or Paying Agent under the Agency Agreement.

agree to (provided that such agreement is not unreasonably withheld), provided that no such letter or letters will be delivered in connection solely with the incorporation by reference in the Programme Memorandum of the latest annual or interim
audited financial statements of the Issuer or any announcement of financial results for any annual or interim period of the Issuer. If at or prior to the time of any agreement to issue and subscribe for, or procure the subscription for, Notes under

	6.7	No other issues/Clear issuance 

 Except as otherwise agreed between the Issuer and the Relevant Dealer, the Issuer undertakes that it will not, during the period commencing on the Agreement Date and ending on the date which is 7 (seven) days after the Issue Date of the
relevant Tranche, without written consent of the Relevant Dealer, issue or agree to issue any Notes that are substantially similar to the Notes of the relevant Tranche. 
  


	6.8	Information on Noteholders’ meetings

and each person who controls that Dealer or Arranger and any of



  

 

 
  


 Page 31 









	 	 
their respective representatives, directors, officers, employees and agents (each an “Indemnified Person”) and agrees to hold such Indemnified Persons indemnified and harmless
against any actual losses, liability, damages, cost, loss or expense (excluding any consequential economic loss but including, without limitation legal fees, costs and expenses reasonably incurred) (a “Loss”) which may be directly
suffered or made against such Indemnified Person as a result of or in relation to or in connection with (i) any actual breach by the Issuer or alleged breach (other than an allegation made by an indemnified Person) by the Issuer of any of the
representations, warranties, undertakings and agreements contained in, or deemed to be made pursuant to, this Agreement including, but without limitation, the failure by the Issuer to issue the Notes (otherwise than by reason of non-payment by the
Relevant Dealer(s) or investors procured by the Relevant Dealer(s)), or (ii) any untrue statement or alleged (other than an allegation made by an indemnified Person) untrue statement contained in the Programme Memorandum or Pricing Supplement
circulated or distributed with the consent of the Issuer, or (iii) any untrue or alleged (other than an allegation made by an indemnified Person) untrue statement in any other document or information authorised pursuant to clause 8 to be
distributed or passed on by such Relevant Dealer(s) (other than in respect of any information provided by or prepared by or on behalf of any Relevant Dealer(s) or Arranger) or (iv) any omission or alleged (other than an allegation made by an
indemnified Person) omission to state in the Programme Memorandum a material fact necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, or (v) any breach by the Issuer of the Terms and Conditions. 


  

	7.2	Should any of the events in 7.1 occur, and an Indemnified Person thereby suffer a Loss, the Issuer shall pay to that Indemnified Person on demand an amount equal to
such Loss and all costs, charges and expenses (including but not limited to legal costs and expenses) reasonably incurred which it or any Indemnified Person may actually pay or incur in connection with investigating, disputing or defending any such
action or claim as such costs, charges and expenses are incurred. This undertaking to make payment is additional to any liability which the Issuer may otherwise have. 

  

 

 
  


 Page 32 









	7.3	If any proceedings (including a governmental investigation) shall be instituted involving any Indemnified Person in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to
clause 7.1 such Indemnified Person shall promptly notify the Issuer in writing and the Issuer shall, upon request of such Indemnified Person, appoint lawyers reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Person to represent such Indemnified Person and
the Issuer shall be liable to pay the reasonable fees and expenses of such lawyers related to such proceeding. In any such proceedings, the relevant Indemnified Person shall have the right to retain its own lawyer, but the reasonable fees and
expenses of such lawyer shall be for the account of such Indemnified Person unless (i) the Issuer and such Indemnified Person shall have mutually agreed in writing to the retention of such lawyer or (ii) such Indemnified Person has
defences additional to or different from the Issuer, or (iii) the Issuer fails, within a reasonable time, to appoint lawyers reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Person. 

  

	7.4	The Issuer shall not be liable for any settlement of any such proceeding purported to be effected by any Indemnified Person without the prior written consent of the
Issuer (such consent not being unreasonably withheld or delayed), but if settled with such consent or if there be a final judgement for the plaintiff, the Issuer agrees to indemnify the relevant Indemnified Person(s) from and against any loss or
liability reasonably incurred by reason of such settlement or judgement. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, if at any time any Indemnified Person shall have requested the Issuer to reimburse such Indemnified Person for fees and expenses of its
own lawyers as contemplated in clause 7.3 and the Indemnified Person is entitled to such fees and expenses in terms of that clause, the Issuer agrees that it shall be liable for any settlement of any such proceeding effected without its written
consent if (i) such settlement is entered into more than 30 (thirty) days after receipt by the Issuer of such request and (ii) the Issuer shall not have reimbursed such Indemnified Person in accordance with such request prior to the date
of such settlement. The Issuer will not, without written consent of the relevant Indemnified Person, effect the settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which any Indemnified Person is or could have been a party and indemnity
could have been sought hereunder by such Indemnified Person, unless such settlement includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Person from all liability in respect of the subject of such proceeding.

	7.5	No Dealer shall have any duty or obligation, whether as fiduciary or otherwise toward any Indemnified Person or otherwise be obliged to recover any amount under this
clause 7 on behalf of or to account to any other person for any such amount. 

  

	7.6	The undertakings in this clause 7 shall survive any termination of this Agreement, any termination of any agreement or the obligations of any party hereto.

 The Issuer hereby authorises the Arranger and the Dealers on its behalf to provide copies of, and make oral statements consistent with, (i) the Programme Memorandum and/or (ii) such additional information provided in writing by
the Issuer in relation to the Programme, to the Arranger and the Dealers, to actual and potential subscribers for Notes and to other persons to whom such documents and statements or information need to be furnished or made for the purposes of the
Programme. 
  

	9	DEALERS’ UNDERTAKINGS AND INDEMNITY 

  

	9.1	The Arranger and each Dealer agrees that its obligations under this Agreement are several (and not joint) and it shall not be responsible for the obligations of any
other Arranger or Dealer. 

  

	9.2	The Arranger and each Dealer agrees to comply with the restrictions and requirements set out in Appendix B hereto insofar as they relate to an issue of Notes to such
Dealer or any person procured by that Dealer or any offer for subscription for or sale of those Notes made by such Dealer. For the avoidance of doubt, no Dealer will be liable for the failure of any other Dealer or any other person, to comply with
the restrictions and requirements set out in Appendix B. 

  

	9.3	 The Arranger and each Dealer severally indemnifies the Issuer its subsidiaries and respective directors, officers, employees and controlling



  

 

 
  


 Page 34 









	 	 
persons and agents against any and all losses, claims, damages or liabilities to which it may become subject, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect
thereof) arise out of or are based upon the failure of such Dealer to observe or comply with any of the selling restrictions or requirements set out in Appendix B (insofar as they so relate to the Dealer) provided that no Dealer shall be liable for
any losses, claims, damages or liabilities arising from the sale of Notes to any person believed in good faith by such Dealer, on reasonable grounds after making all reasonable investigations, to be a person to whom the Notes could legally be sold
in compliance with the provisions of Appendix B, provided that the legal liability assumed in terms of this indemnity shall not extend to indirect or consequential damages and shall not extend beyond the relevant indemnifier’s liability that
would nevertheless attach to each Arranger or Dealer by law or by custom in the absence of such indemnity. For the sake of clarity, and save as otherwise stated to the contrary, the liability of each Dealer under this clause 9.3 shall be independent
from that of any other Dealer and shall be neither joint nor several as between Dealers. 


  

	9.4	The provisions of clauses 7.1, 7.3 and 7.4 as to the conduct and expense of conducting any defence against any action, proceeding, claim or demand in respect of which
indemnity in clause 9.3 may be sought shall apply mutatis mutandis to clause 9.3. 

  

	10	FEES, EXPENSES AND STAMP DUTIES 

 Except as otherwise agreed, the Issuer undertakes that it will: 
  

	10.1	pay to each Dealer on demand the commissions (if any) agreed in connection with and at the time of each sale of Notes to that Dealer or to a person procured by that
Dealer (and any VAT or other tax thereon, if applicable); and 

  

	10.2	pay (together with any VAT or other tax thereon, if applicable) all reasonable costs and expenses incidental to the performance of its obligations under this Agreement,
including but not limited to - 

  

	10.2.1	the reasonable fees and expenses of its legal advisers and auditors; 

  

 

 
  


 Page 35 









	10.2.2	the cost of listing and maintaining the listing of any Notes to be issued by the Issuer under the Programme on a Relevant Financial Exchange, where such Notes are
intended to be listed; 

  

	10.2.3	the cost of obtaining and maintaining any rating for the Issuer, the Programme and/or the Notes; 

  

	10.2.4	the agreed fees of, or expenses incurred by, the Transfer Agent, the Paying Agent and the Calculation Agent pursuant to the Agency Agreement; 


 

	10.2.5	all reasonable expenses in connection with the issue, marketing, authentication, packaging and initial delivery of Notes, this Agreement, the Agency Agreement, any
Subscription Agreement and the preparation and printing of Certificates, the Programme Memorandum and any amendments or supplements thereto (including the cost of updating any legal opinions issued pursuant to clause 4.4 and of any auditors’
comfort letters issued pursuant to clause 6.6), provided that proof thereof is furnished to the Issuer; 

  

	10.2.6	the cost of any publicity agreed to by the Issuer in connection with the Programme and any issue of Notes; 

  

	10.3	pay the agreed fees and disbursements of legal advisers appointed to represent the Arranger and the Dealers (including any VAT or other tax thereon, if applicable) in
connection with the negotiation, preparation, execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Programme Memorandum, the Agency Agreement and any documents referred to in any of them and any other documents required in connection with the
implementation or maintenance of the Programme and the issue of Notes; and 

  

	10.4	 pay promptly, and in any event before any penalty becomes payable, any stamp, documentary, registration or similar duty or tax imposed within the
Republic of South Africa and payable in connection with the entry into, performance, enforcement or admissibility in evidence of this Agreement, any communication pursuant hereto, the Agency Agreement, Programme

Memorandum or any Note and indemnify each Dealer against any liability with respect to or resulting from any delay in paying, or omission to pay, any such duty or tax.



  

	11	TERMINATION OF APPOINTMENT OF DEALERS 

 The Arranger or each Dealer may terminate its participation described in this Agreement by giving not less than 30 (thirty) days’ written notice to the other parties hereto. The Issuer may terminate
the appointment of the Arranger, a Dealer or Dealers by giving not less than 30 (thirty) days’ written notice to the Arranger, such Dealer or Dealers (with a copy promptly thereafter to the remainder of the parties to this Agreement) at any
time after the earlier of the first Issue Date and 15 February 2009. Termination shall not affect any rights or obligations (including but not limited to those arising under clauses 7, 9 and/or 10) which have accrued at the time of termination
or which accrue thereafter in relation to any act or omission or alleged act or omission which occurred prior to such time. 
  

	12	APPOINTMENT OF NEW DEALERS 

  

	12.1	Nothing in this Agreement shall prevent the Issuer from appointing one or more New Dealers for the duration of the Programme or, with regard to an issue of a particular
Tranche of Notes, for the purposes of that Tranche, in either case upon the terms of this Agreement and provided that, unless such appointment is effected pursuant to a Subscription Agreement - 

  

	12.1.1	any New Dealer shall have first delivered to the Issuer an appropriate Dealer Accession Letter substantially in the form set out in Part I of Appendix C hereto (in
respect of a New Dealer for the remainder of the Programme) and Part III of Appendix C hereto (in respect of a New Dealer with regard to an issue of a particular Tranche of Notes); and 

  

	12.1.2	the Issuer shall have delivered to such New Dealer an appropriate Letter of Appointment substantially in the form set out in Part II or Part IV of Appendix C hereto,


 whereupon such New Dealer shall, subject to the terms of the relevant Dealer Accession Letter and the relevant
Letter of Appointment, become a

  

 

 
  


 Page 37 








 
party to this Agreement, vested with all authority, rights, powers, duties and obligations of a Dealer as if originally named as a Dealer hereunder provided further that, except in the case of
the appointment of a New Dealer for the duration of the Programme, following the issue of the Notes in respect of the relevant Tranche on the Issue Date, the relevant New Dealer shall have no further such authority, rights, powers, duties or
obligations except such as may be accrued or been incurred prior to and in connection with, the issue of such Notes. 
  

	12.2	The Issuer shall promptly notify the Arranger, the Transfer Agent and the other Dealers of any appointment of a New Dealer for the duration of the Programme by
supplying to such parties a copy of any Dealer Accession Letter and Letter of Appointment. Such notice shall be required to be given to the Transfer Agent by the Issuer only in the case of an appointment of a New Dealer for a particular Tranche.


  

	13	INCREASE IN THE AGGREGATE NOMINAL AMOUNT OF THE PROGRAMME 

  

	13.1	From time to time the Issuer may wish to increase the aggregate nominal amount of the Notes that may be issued under the Programme. In such circumstances, the Issuer
shall obtain the prior written approval of all the Guarantors for such increase and shall give notification of such an increase (subject to clause 13.2) by delivering to the Sponsoring Member, the Transfer Agent, the Arranger and the Dealers a
letter substantially in the form set out in Appendix D hereto. Upon such notice being given, all references in this Agreement, the Agency Agreement, the Programme Memorandum or any other agreement, deed or document in relation to the Programme, to
the aggregate nominal amount of the Notes that may be issued under the Programme, shall be and shall be deemed to be references to the increased nominal amount. 

  

	13.2	 Notwithstanding clause 13.1, the right of the Issuer, having obtained the prior written consent of the Guarantors, to increase the aggregate nominal
amount of the Programme shall be subject to the Arranger and the Dealers having received and found satisfactory (in their reasonable opinion) all the documents and confirmations described in the Initial Documentation List



  

 

 
  


 Page 38 









	 	 
(with such changes as may be relevant with reference to the circumstances at the time of the proposed increase as are agreed between the Issuer, the Arranger and the Dealers), and the delivery of
any further conditions precedent that any of the Arranger and the Dealers may reasonably require, including, without limitation, the production of a supplement to the Programme Memorandum by the Issuer and any further or other documents required by
the Relevant Financial Exchange for the purpose of listing any Notes to be issued on the Relevant Financial Exchange. The Arranger shall circulate to the Dealers all the documents and confirmations described in the Initial Documentation List (save
for item 7 on the Initial Document List which shall be provided directly to the Dealers by the Issuer) and any further conditions precedent so required in terms hereof. Any Dealer must notify the Arranger and the Arranger must notify the Issuer
within 10 (ten) Business Days (or any shorter period as may be agreed) of receipt of the documents and confirmations described in the Initial Documentation List if it considers, in its reasonable opinion, any of such documents and confirmations to
be unsatisfactory and must furnish the reasons therefore in its notice. In the absence of such notification, the Arranger and the Dealers shall be deemed to consider such documents and confirmations to be satisfactory. 



 

	14	STATUS OF THE DEALERS AND THE ARRANGER 

 Each of the Dealers agrees that the Arranger has only acted in an administrative capacity to facilitate the establishment and/or maintenance of the Programme and none of the Dealers nor the Arranger will
be responsible to any other Dealer for the adequacy, accuracy, completeness or reasonableness of any representation, warranty, undertaking, agreement, statement or information in the Programme Memorandum, the Agency Agreement, any Pricing
Supplement, this Agreement or any information provided in connection with the Programme with the authority of the Issuer or for providing assurance in respect of the nature of and suitability for and consequences to such Dealers or Arranger of all
legal, tax and accounting matters and all documentation in connection with the Programme or any Tranche in reliance on any opinion or advice rendered by legal advisers or auditors appointed by the Issuer in relation to the Programme. The Arranger
shall have only those duties, obligations and responsibilities expressly specified in this Agreement and its letter of appointment.

	17	BENEFIT OF AGREEMENT 

  

	17.1	This Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure for the benefit of the Issuer, the Arranger and each Dealer and their respective successors and permitted assigns.


  

	17.2	The Arranger and/or any Dealer may, - 

  

	17.2.1	with the prior written consent of the Issuer, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, assign and transfer all of such Arranger’s or any such
Dealer’s rights and obligations hereunder to any third party, but subject to 17.2.2; 

  

 

 
  


 Page 40 









	17.2.2	without the prior written consent of the Issuer (but on prior written notice to the Issuer), assign and transfer all of such Arranger’s or any such Dealer’s
rights and obligations hereunder to any subsidiary or holding company of such Arranger or Dealer or to any subsidiary of such holding company, provided that the relevant Arranger or Dealer (as the case may be) unconditionally guarantees its
obligations. 

  

	17.3	Any purported assignment in violation of clause 17.2 shall be void. 

  

	17.4	Upon any such transfer and/or assumption of obligations pursuant to clause 17.2, the assigning or transferring Arranger or Dealer shall be relieved of and fully
discharged from all obligations under this Agreement (unless it shall have guaranteed such obligations), whether such obligations arose before or after such transfer and assumption and in all cases the relevant assignee or transferee shall be
treated as if it were a party to this Agreement with effect from the date on which such assignment or transfer takes effect. 

  

	17.5	The Issuer may not, for as long as the Notes are Outstanding, cede its rights or delegate its obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of the

	18.2	 Should such a request be made to the Issuer and the Issuer agrees thereto, the appointment of that Dealer, the Arranger or nominee shall be automatic
upon the issue of the relevant Series of Notes, and shall, except as agreed, be on the terms set out in the Calculation Agency Agreement



  

 

 
  


 Page 41 









	 	 
attached as Appendix B to the Agency Agreement, and no further action shall be required to effect the appointment of such Dealer, the Arranger or Nominee as Calculation Agent in relation to that
Series of Notes, and the Calculation Schedule to the Calculation Agency Agreement shall be deemed to be duly annotated to include such Series. The name of the Dealer, the Arranger or Nominee so appointed will be entered in the Applicable Pricing
Supplement. 


  

	19	STABILISATION 

  

	19.1	In connection with the distribution of the relevant Tranche of Notes, the Relevant Dealer who is designated in the Applicable Pricing Supplement as the approved
stabilisation manager (the “Stabilisation Manager”), for the issue of the relevant Tranche of Notes may, in accordance with any terms, directions or limits specified in the Applicable Pricing Supplement and to the extent permitted
by all applicable rules and regulations, over-allot or effect transactions with a view to supporting the market price of the relevant Tranche of Notes at a level which might not otherwise prevail for a limited period after the Issue Date, but in
doing so the Stabilisation Manager shall act as principal and not as agent of the Issuer. 

  

	19.2	Save to the extent agreed otherwise in writing, at the time such stabilisation is to take place - 

  

	19.2.1	the Issuer shall not be obliged to issue more than the aggregate principal amount of the relevant Tranche of Notes;

after a limited period and the price/yield and amount of Notes to be issued under the Programme will be determined by the Issuer and each Relevant Dealer and/or Lead Manager(s) at the time of issue in accordance with the prevailing market
conditions; and 

  

	19.2.3	any loss or profit to the stabilisation Manager pursuant to the stabilising transactions effected by the Stabilisation Manager, shall be for the account of the
Stabilisation Manager.

	21	WHOLE AGREEMENT 

 This
Agreement constitutes the whole agreement between the parties relating to the subject matter hereof. 
  

	22	NO WAIVER 

 Any indulgence
which any party may show to any other pursuant to the provisions contained in this Agreement shall not constitute a waiver of such party’s rights.

	23.1	This Agreement and every agreement for the issue of and subscription for Notes as referred to in clause 3 shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with the

	23.2	Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably consents to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the South Gauteng High Court of South Africa in relation to any disputes
which may arise out of or in connection with this Agreement and accordingly any suit, action or proceedings (together referred to as “Proceedings”) arising out of or in connection with this Agreement may be brought in such court.
Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives any objection which it may have now or hereafter to the laying of the venue of any such Proceedings in any such court and any claim that any such Proceedings have been brought in an inconvenient
forum and hereby further irrevocably agrees that a judgment in any such Proceedings brought in the above South African court shall be conclusive and binding upon the parties hereto and may be enforced in the courts of any other jurisdiction. Nothing
contained in this clause shall limit any right to take Proceedings in any other court of competent jurisdiction nor shall the taking of Proceedings in one or more jurisdictions preclude the taking of Proceedings in any other jurisdiction, whether

 APPENDIX B 
 SELLING RESTRICTIONS 
 REPUBLIC OF SOUTH AFRICA 
 The Issuer, each Guarantor and each Dealer have represented, warranted and agreed that they will not solicit any offers for subscription for the Notes in
contravention of any applicable law and/or any regulation of the Republic of South Africa. 
 UNITED STATES 
 The Notes have not been and will not be registered under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933 (the “Securities Act”) and the Notes may not be
offered or sold within the United States except pursuant to an exemption from, or a transaction not subject to, the registration requirements of the Securities Act. Each Dealer represents that it has not offered or sold, and agrees that it will not
offer or sell, any Notes constituting part of its allotment in the United States except in accordance with Rule 903 of Regulation S under the Securities Act (“Regulation S”). Accordingly, neither the Issuer, each Dealer, their
affiliates nor any persons acting on its or their behalf have engaged or will engage in any directed selling efforts with respect to the Notes. Terms used in this paragraph have the meaning given to them by Regulation S. 
 UNITED KINGDOM 
 In relation to the Notes,
each Dealer subscribing for or purchasing such Notes has represented, warranted and agreed that: 
  

	a)	 Notes with maturities of less than one year: in relation to any Notes which have a maturity of less than one year, (a) it is a person whose
ordinary activities involve it in acquiring, holding, managing or disposing of investments (as principal or agent) for the purposes of its business and (b) it has not offered or sold and will not offer or sell any Notes other than to persons
whose ordinary activities involve them in acquiring, holding, managing or disposing of investments (as principal or agent) for the purposes of their businesses or who



  

 

 
  


 Page 48 









	 	 
it is reasonable to expect will acquire, hold, manage or dispose of investments (as principal or agent) for the purposes of their businesses where the issue of the Notes would otherwise
constitute a contravention of section 19 of the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 (the “FSMA”) by the Issuer; 


  

	b)	Financial promotion: it has only communicated or caused to be communicated and will only communicate or cause to be communicated any invitation or inducement to engage
in investment activity (within the meaning of section 21 of the FSMA) received by it in connection with the issue or sale of any Notes in circumstances in which section 21(1) of the FSMA does not apply to the Issuer; and 

  

	c)	General compliance: it has complied and will comply with all applicable provisions of the FSMA with respect to anything done by it in relation to any Notes in, from or
otherwise involving the United Kingdom. 

 EUROPEAN ECONOMIC AREA 
 In relation to each Member State of the European Economic Area which has implemented the Prospectus Directive (each, a “Relevant Member
State”), each Dealer has represented, warranted and agreed, and each further Dealer appointed under the Programme will be required to represent, warrant and agree, that with effect from and including the date on which the Prospectus
Directive is implemented in that Member State (the “Relevant Implementation Date”) it has not made and will not make an offer of Notes which are the subject of the offering contemplated by this Programme Memorandum as completed by
the Applicable Pricing Supplement in relation thereto to the public in that Relevant Member State, except that it may, with effect from and including that Relevant Implementation Date, make an offer of Notes to the public in that Relevant Member
State: 
  

	(a)	at any time to legal entities which are authorised or regulated to operate in the financial markets or, if not so authorised or regulated, whose corporate purpose is
solely to invest in securities; 

  

	(b)	at any time to any legal entity which has two or more of (i) an average of at least 250 employees during the last financial year; (ii) a total balance sheet
of more than EUR43,000,000; and (iii) an annual turnover of more than EUR50,000,000, all as shown in its last annual or consolidated accounts; 

  

 

 
  


 Page 49 









	(c)	at any time to fewer than 100 natural or legal persons (other than qualified investors as defined in the Prospectus Directive) subject to obtaining the prior consent of
the Relevant Dealer or Dealers nominated by the relevant Issuer for any such offer; or 

  

	(d)	at any time in any other circumstances falling within Article 3(2) of the Prospectus Directive, 

 provided that no such offer of Notes referred to in (a) to (d) above shall require the Issuer or any Dealer to publish a prospectus
pursuant to Article 3 of the Prospectus Directive or supplement a prospectus pursuant to Article 16 of the Prospectus Directive. 
 For the purposes of this provision, the expression “offer of Notes to the public” in relation to any Notes in any Relevant Member State means the communication in any form and by any means of sufficient information on the
terms of the offer and the Notes to be offered so as to enable an investor to decide to purchase or subscribe the Notes, as the same may be varied in that Member State by any measure implementing the Prospectus Directive in that Member State and the
expression “Prospectus Directive” means Directive 2003/71/EC and includes any relevant implementing measure in each Relevant Member State. 
 GENERAL 
 Each Dealer has agreed and each further Dealer appointed under the Programme will
be required to agree that it will not, directly or indirectly, purchase, offer, sell or deliver any Notes or distribute or publish any offering circular, information memorandum, prospectus, form of application, advertisement or other document or
information in any country or jurisdiction except under circumstances that will, to the best of its knowledge and belief, result in compliance with any applicable laws and regulations and all purchases, offers, sales and deliveries of Notes by it
will be made on the same terms. 
 Without prejudice to the generality of the above paragraph, each Dealer has agreed and each further Dealer
appointed under the Programme will be required to agree that it will obtain any consent, approval or permission which is, to the best of its

  

 

 
  


 Page 50 








 
knowledge and belief, required for the offer, purchase, sale or delivery by it of Notes under the laws and regulations in force in any jurisdiction to which it is subject or in which it makes
such offers, purchases, sales or deliveries and it will, to the best of its knowledge and belief, comply with all such laws and regulations. 
 With regard to each Tranche, the Relevant Dealer(s) will be required to comply with such other additional restrictions as shall be set out in the Applicable Pricing Supplement.
